We have just returned home after a holiday spent at Chained Heart Cottage. We were a family group of nine, comprising 5 adults and 4 children aged 3½, 6, 10 and 11 years. Each of us, including the children, voted it the best holiday ever.From the minute we arrived, much earlier than planned, we were made to feel most welcome and immediately felt at home. Marion and Al are wonderful hosts and the accommodation they provide is outstanding. Our cottage was very spacious with plenty of room for us all. Being grandparents, we occupied the downstairs bedroom and the other adults had their own upstairs. The children loved sharing the huge 4th room upstairs where each had a large comfortable wooden bed well spaced in each corner, leaving plenty of room for activities in the centre of the room. The open plan area downstairs is extremely well laid out with a well equipped American style kitchen with loads of counter space; a good dining area and plenty of seating in the lounge and TV area. On top of that there is a marvellous BBQ area where we dined alfresco most evenings, with the subtle perfume of honeysuckle entwined above us.The grounds are very extensive and include an excellent, safely fenced pool area where the children especially spent a lot of time. There are large areas for kicking a ball about or badminton. For little ones there is a separate play area with swings and slides, and for the older ones a well equipped games room.The village of Plumeliau is a short 4 kms away with 2 bakeries where we bought freshly baked baguettes, croissants and various pastries every morning. There are two supermarkets, one large and one smaller one where we found prices to be very reasonable, especially compared to Ireland. Pontivy has excellent shops and a lovely market on a Monday.I could go on and on, but suffice it to say that you will not find better accommodation at a reasonable price, in a more beautiful, relaxing setting than Chained Heart Cottage. A big thank you to Marion and Al for all your help in making our holiday one we will never forget. We hope to be back in the not too distant future.

There were ten of us staying at Chained Heart Cottage, us two oldies, our three children and their other halves and our two lovely grand daughters. When we arrived we all had the same reaction, this is just perfect. The kitchen was very well equipped and we had our own barbecue outside which was well used, nearly every night. The lounge area is very cosy and is open plan so you can chat to the cook of the day. The bedrooms are comfy and a good size with two bathrooms. I particularly liked the flowers in the dining area window, beautiful. We all loved the swimming pool and spent a lot of time there, the girls loved it and Emily, who is six, learnt to dive. Every evening we went to the games room which was also well equipped. Not too far to the nearest shops, we cycled there for fresh bread and yummy cakes most days.We were warmly welcomed by Marion and Al, everything was explained to us on our arrival and they were always there if we needed any help.We all loved our holiday and hope to return, we would all recommend Chained Heart Cottage as an excellent holiday gite.
